Scales - SCL

probably not helped by video of the RSE workers on top of their accommodation and the water lapping a few centimetres lower. Not saying they're Scales RSE workers - but it gives a stark image of the horticultural devastation being endured

down ~5% today, presumably because of cyclone woes. an update from the company on how it is weathering events (pun intended) would be nice.

Interesting that SEK hasn't lost any ground at all. Maybe its all good in kiwifruit land?

Big update in two weeks ... but sure, there is probably a brief announcement earlier. However - maybe they first want to wait for the weather event to end? Might make sense, anyway.

I really feel for these guys and the local HB community. These guys will bounce back, kiwi farmers always do! Silver lining is it will help balance their oversupply. also really like scales diversification into pet food for these such occasions. Will the balance sheet take this hit or are they already highly geared and will need to raise some funds?

bad for them alright . saw on the news last night all those apples floating around and the guys whole orchard washed away
